18 mg BI 1015550

3 tablets of 6 milligram (mg) of BI 101550 (total: 18 mg) were administrated as an oral dose together with about 240 milliliter (mL) of water twice daily (bid). Treatment period was 4 weeks for patients entered after approval of a global protocol amendment 3 at 12 Feb 2019 or 12 weeks for those entered before approval.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Signed and dated written informed consent prior to admission to the study in accordance with ICH Harmonised Tripartite Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP) and local legislation
* Male or female patients aged ≥40 years at visit 1.
* A clinical diagnosis of IPF based on ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT 2011 guideline within the previous 5 years as confirmed by the investigator based on chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan taken within 12 months of visit 1 and confirmed by central review prior to visit 2.
* Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) ≥50% of predicted normal at visit 1
* Diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) (corrected for haemoglobin \[Hb\] \[Visit 1\]): \> 30% of predicted normal at visit 1

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients with a significant disease or condition other than IPF which in the opinion of the investigator, may put the patient at risk because of participation, interfere with study procedures, or cause concern regarding the patient's ability to participate in the study.
* Any laboratory value outside the reference range that the investigator considers to be of clinical relevance
* Surgery of the GI tract that could interfere with PK of the trial medication (except appendectomy)
* Diseases of the central nervous system (including but not limited to any kind of seizures or stroke), and other relevant neurological or psychiatric disorders including but not limited to mood disorders.
* Evidence of active infection (chronic or acute) based on clinical exam or laboratory findings.
* History of allergy or hypersensitivity to the trial medication or its excipients
* Use of drugs within 30 days prior to administration of trial medication that are known to influence the results of the trial including time between start of the Q-wave and the end of the T-wave in an electrocardiogram (QT) / QT interval corrected for heart rate using the method of Fridericia (QTcF) or Bazett (QTcB) (QTc)
* A marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval (such as QTc intervals that are repeatedly greater than 450 ms in males or repeatedly greater than 470 ms in females) or any other relevant ECG finding at screening
* A history of additional risk factors for Torsades de Pointes (such as heart failure, hypokalemia, or family history of Long QT Syndrome)
* Participation in another trial where an investigational drug has been administered within 30 days or less than 5 half-lives (whichever is greater) of the respective drug prior to planned administration of trial medication, or current participation in another trial involving administration of investigational drug.
* Inability to refrain from smoking on trial days
* Alcohol abuse (consumption of more than 20 g per day)
* Active drug abuse
* Blood donation of more than 100 mL within 30 days prior to administration of trial medication or intended donation during the trial
* Inability to comply with dietary regimen required for the trial
* Patient is assessed as unsuitable for inclusion by the investigator, for instance, because considered not able to understand and comply with study requirements, or has a condition that would not allow safe participation in the study
* Male patients who do not agree to minimize the risk of female partners becoming pregnant from first dosing day until two months after the study completion. Acceptable methods of contraception comprises barrier contraception and a medically accepted contraceptive method for the female partner (intra-uterine device with spermicide, hormonal contraceptive used for at least two months prior), true sexual abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient), or surgically sterilized, including vasectomy.
* Females who are not surgically sterilised or who are not postmenopausal, defined as at least 1 year of spontaneous amenorrhea (in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous levels of Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) above 40 U/L and estradiol below 30 ng/L is confirmatory).
* Relevant airways obstruction (i.e. pre-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC \<0.7) at visit 1
* Patients who have previously been treated with nintedanib or pirfenidone within 30 days of visit 1.
* Positive fecal occult blood (no retest allowed),
* Positive testing for hematuria if confirmed by microscopic urine analysis (retest allowed)
* Any lifetime history of suicidal behavior (i.e. actual attempt, interrupted attempt, aborted attempt, or preparatory acts or behavior)
* Any suicidal ideation of type 2 to 5 on the C-SSRS in the past 12 months (i.e. active suicidal thought without method, intent or plan; active suicidal thought with method, but without intent or plan; active suicidal thought with method and intent but without specific plan; or active suicidal thought with method, intent and plan).
